What would happen if Ouyang Zixin didn't think of Rong Yi at the last moment?
She would die!
Just when Ouyang Zixin was nearing despair, her mind was filled with images of her mother from her past life and her parents from this life, but there was no sign of Rong Yi, not even Liu Ying and Liu Lu.
It's hard to say whether Ouyang Zixin was sentimental or heartless; how could she only think of three people right before "death"?
This was also something Rong Yi had not anticipated. At the critical moment, this girl somehow managed to keep her consciousness at bay, and despite several attempts, he could not penetrate her mind.
Looking at Ouyang Zixin lying on the bed, her breath growing weaker, she seemed as fragile as a pale porcelain doll, unable to withstand any storm. Even a slight touch could shatter her and send her away with the wind.
At this moment, even Rong Yi pursed his lips, his eyes deep like a quiet pool, silent and completely focused on Ouyang Zixin.
Stupid girl, you can't be in trouble!
The once ethereal Master Rong, who always gave off a refreshing aura, now exuded a hint of despair.
Liu Ying and Liu Lu held each other's hands tightly, feeling anxious and afraid. But in the face of such a scene, they couldn't bring themselves to speak. They held back tears, their eyes reddening as they bit down on their lips, which was truly moving.
Rong Yi tried once again to enter Ouyang Zixin's mind. He didn't dare to force his way in; instead, he sought that minuscule chance to enter without harming her. A drop of bright red blood fell onto his clothing.
Ouyang Zixin, on the brink of death, had tightly sealed herself off. In a sense, she had taken control of her own mind, making it impossible for even an extraordinary master like Rong Yi to enter without permission.
Again and again he tried, failing time after time. Rong Yi didn't even pay attention to his own injuries; he was solely focused on Ouyang Zixin. He didn't want to miss any opportunity to enter her mind. Even if it wasn't for Bai Su, he couldn't bear to see this girl fade away.
Uncontrollably, scenes of his time with Ouyang Zixin flashed before Rong Yi's eyes. She was a girl who loved to act mischievously, a girl who lacked manners, a girl who spoke without restraint—a girl who...
The scenes struck Rong Yi like a heavy punch to the chest. Despite the many flaws of this Girl, he genuinely cherished this little girl who called him "Uncle" with such affection.
“Girl, can you not remember Uncle at all? I would rather you curse me in your heart right now…” Rong Yi secretly hoped, feeling like an ordinary person who cared for his junior.
“Rong Yi… Uncle…” A faint consciousness stirred within Ouyang Zixin's Mind, calling out like a heavenly melody.
If it weren't for Rong Yi actively seeking an opportunity and capturing that almost ethereal moment just before Ouyang Zixin lost consciousness, he would have regretted it for life.
As soon as his consciousness entered, Rong Yi immediately protected Ouyang Zixin's Mind with Mysterious Energy, and the oppressive White Mist surrounding her calmed down instantly.
“Girl, have you finally remembered me?”
If just a second ago, Rong Yi felt fortunate that Ouyang Zixin could recall him at the last moment, then the strand of reassuring consciousness she had before losing awareness undoubtedly occupied the softest spot in Rong Yi's heart, adding a touch of bittersweetness.
He didn't know when tears had begun to wet the corners of his eyes. How long had it been since he had experienced such intense emotions?
A hundred years in the secret realm had led him to believe that joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness had long departed with Susu. Yet, ever since he met Ouyang Zixin, there was an aura about her that drew him in. It was this special Girl who made Rong Yi realize that he could still feel pain, care, and be moved…
Girl, thank you…
Susu, thank you too for giving birth to such an outstanding child.
Not wanting to dwell on it further, Rong Yi focused on protecting Ouyang Zixin. Since he had entered her Mind, he would ensure her safety. He needed to understand what that powerful Barrier was that nearly caused him to miscalculate and put Ouyang Zixin's life in danger.
Leaving a part of his consciousness within Ouyang Zixin's Mind, Rong Yi then turned to instruct Liu Ying and Liu Lu to prepare the medicine he had prepared.
The two maids, perhaps overly tense from worry and having maintained the same position for too long, suddenly collapsed to the ground upon hearing the news, finally allowing themselves to cry out loud.
Rong Yi understood that they were genuinely concerned for Ouyang Zixin. At this moment, their noise wouldn’t disturb her, so he let them cry and laugh as they wished.
“Master Rong, we will never forget your great kindness,” the two maids knelt down properly, bowing their heads in gratitude to Rong Yi after finally venting all their fears.
“Why would I want you two maids to remember me? Once this girl wakes up, I will personally make her bow to me!” Rong Yi raised his hand, and Liu Ying and Liu Lu found it impossible to continue bowing.
Knowing that Master Rong was just joking with them, they felt more assured that their young lady would be safe and sound. They quickly went to prepare medicine for Ouyang Zixin.
“Girl, you really have a way about you; anyone who spends time with you inevitably becomes devoted…” As he wiped the thin sweat from Ouyang Zixin's forehead, a slight smile appeared on Rong Yi's lips, with an affection in his eyes that even he was unaware of.
With Rong Yi's Mysterious Energy, the strange White Mist in Ouyang Zixin's mind could no longer cause trouble. Without that pressure, Ouyang Zixin's consciousness should recover quickly. As for when her consciousness would return, Rong Yi could not be certain; all he could do was ensure that her physical condition remained stable during her unconsciousness.
As for what would happen after she regained consciousness…
“The time is almost up; I hope everything will be in time. Otherwise, Girl, all the suffering you’ve endured will truly be in vain…”
He pinched the corner of Ouyang Zixin's blanket. It was already autumn, and seeing that Liu Ying and Liu Lu had not returned yet, Rong Yi did not rush to leave. He casually glanced at a book placed on the low cabinet beside Ouyang Zixin's bed and picked it up, discovering it was a collection of short stories about legendary figures from the Yuhai Continent.
He was surprised that this girl liked to read such things. With nothing else to do, he began to flip through it. However, as soon as he caught sight of the first page, he was stunned and remained frozen until Liu Ying and Liu Lu returned with the medicine.
After giving instructions on how to care for Ouyang Zixin and confirming everything was correct, he returned to his room to rest.
As he left, he casually took the small book with him. For a long time afterward, no one noticed where that book had gone…
